What is the spectral absorptive power?

HARD
IMPORTANT

Scientists have made a light source whose spectral emissive power dIdλ is constant over the visible range. Here I is intensity and λ is the wavelength. In other words, dIdλ graph is shown below. This beam of area 1 m2 is incident on the emitter plate of the photoelectric tube. The collector plate is sufficiently positive so that tube is in saturation mode. Assume that each capable photon liberates 1 electron. If work function is 2 eV, what is the current (in A) in the tube? Round off to the nearest integer.
